Last night a rather large rock hit my grill on the freeway, it smashed my intercooler right where the hose connects. Im figuring its cheaper to go and get a aftermarket intercooler, since the dealership wants 600 for a new one. Any suggestions on intercoolers, where i can order one online, fast? and its pretty simple to install? unbolt the old one and install the new? and add the correct mixture of fluid/water??


THANK YOU

 

I see you reading!!! no one knows??

 

Do you mean your heat exchanger ????

o.k. first calm down....its no big thing. 2nd thats whats called the heat exchanger its not the intercooler...the L intercooler is a liquid to air type located actually in the motor. the way it works is the exchanger takes the cold air and cools the liquid running through it which runs through the motor and cools the motor down. the Heat exchanger is an easy find..any and all of our supporting vendors carry their own version of one. just a matter of who you decide to give your business.

sorry kinda in big need of this part as this is my only mode of transportation and i have 2 jobs so you can see my excitedness...as far as installing..very simple? unbolt old, bolt on new, add coolant and water and good to go?....

 

I havent done it but I would assume yes that its fairly simple. here are some places to order from:

JDM
Lightning Force Performance
Johnny Lightning Performance

I'm sure theres more but these are from just a quick search

Thanks alot guys really appreciate the help

 

It's a pretty easy job as long as you're up on ramps or on a hoist. If you're on ramps, you're laying on your back which is'nt as easy as on a hoist, but it's not bad. I did mine on ramps. I got mine from LFP, but I think now they're almost all the same and I'm pretty sure today they all install the same. Took me about 2 hours to get the original one out, the new one in, and replace the fluid from draining the original.

 

this just in..........You already made the same exact post and someone already answered your question. hate me if you will. my 2 pennies
